At the bottom of our garden we had an old brick shed (see Part 1: Before to remind you). Now, we have a 'Studio'. The floor has been levelled, the roof has been insulated, the tongue & groove ceiling preserved and the broken window's been double glazed and repaired. We've added a skylight, put folding doors on the back and changed the barred window into a wide doorway.

There are other things to do and to add but right now, it it ready (just in the nick-of-time) for the Gradient show to be installed.

The door (not a window anymore) to the garden.

The hard part is done, now the fun part can begin, working out what goes where and the best way for the space to work. For starters though, the fig tree is our number one accessory!

The basics, service please.

When we first saw the house, 7 years ago, there was a green ladder in the shed, it was one of the funny things you love when you look at a place. The owners left it for us when they moved.Cue central role for the glorious green ladder.
